This immersive evening begins with a public performance and concludes with a private act of creation, tracing the line between Zelda’s artistic legacy and our own personal narratives.Part I: The Museum Performance (5:00 PM – 6:00 PM)We gather at the Asheville Art Museum for a breathtaking performance by Ayla Claypool. In the quiet presence of Zelda’s original painting, Japanese Magnolias, Ayla will bring Zelda’s voice to life, reading curated selections from her intimate and often heartbreaking correspondence. Experience the raw emotion of her prose in the presence of her visual art—a rare moment where her two greatest creative outlets converge.Part II: The Promenade & The Writing Salon (6:00 PM – 8:30 PM)Following the reading, we invite guests on a short, reflective walk back to Zelda Dearest. Here, the evening transitions from observation to participation with "Letters to My Dearest."Guided by Tikva Kingrea, you will be invited to step away from the digital world and reclaim the slow, intentional art of the handwritten note. Whether writing to your own "Scott," a distant loved one, or a future version of yourself, you will be provided with the tools and prompts to create your personal correspondence.The Evening Itinerary5:00 PM | The Reading: Meet at the Asheville Art Museum (Japanese Magnolias).6:00 PM | The Promenade: A leisurely return to the Zelda Dearest property.6:30 PM | The Writing Salon: Letter-writing workshop with Tikva in our garden or parlor.8:30 PM | The Social Hour: A final toast to the "lost art" of correspondence."I've always believed in the magic of the written word—that it can bridge any distance and heal any heart." — Zelda Fitzgerald - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/asheville/to-my-dearest-an-immersive-journey-through-zelda’s-letters-and-art/100001986828060212 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Asheville - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: Zelda Dearest - **lat**: 35.5905685 - **long**: -82.5518116 - **full address**: Zelda Dearest, 150 South Lexington Avenue, Asheville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: To My Dearest: An Immersive Journey through Zelda’s Letters and Art - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/66cda009d81d22f5f2b286165b13e7a511b37c62e15411b9da486e60043f1859-rimg-w720-h720-dcd6d8dc-gmir.jpg?v=1775565193 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is To My Dearest: An Immersive Journey through Zelda’s Letters and Art being held? - **A:** To My Dearest: An Immersive Journey through Zelda’s Letters and Art takes place on Thu, 07 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Thu, 07 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Zelda Dearest, 150 South Lexington Avenue, Asheville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing To My Dearest: An Immersive Journey through Zelda’s Letters and Art? - **A:** To My Dearest: An Immersive Journey through Zelda’s Letters and Art is organized by Zelda Dearest. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
